Chapter 211

Just when Li Wanqing was puzzled, Ouyang Yuanhao said again: "Father said that the treasury is empty now, let me find a way to solve the flood in Lianyun County."

"What?" Li Wanqing couldn't believe what she heard. This country belongs to the emperor, and the people are in trouble. It's only natural for the court to contribute. Although Guizhou Prefecture is Ouyang Yuanhao's fiefdom, their power is limited after all. .

Ouyang Yuanhao looked at Li Wanqing sadly: "Qing'er, I don't know why the father became so cruel, and he didn't even care about his people."

"Hao——" Li Wanqing didn't know how to comfort him. When a local disaster happened, even in the previous life, not only the local government would allocate money, but even the country would allocate money.

"Qing'er, what should I do? This time, Lianyun County was severely affected by the disaster. Thousands of acres of fertile land were flooded, tens of thousands of villagers were flooded, and the people were left homeless. But my father asked me to find a way by myself. Even if you go bankrupt, it won't be of much use." Ouyang Yuanhao asked in pain as he put his arms around Li Wanqing like a hurt beast.

Feeling the heartache of the beloved man, Li Wanqing patted him on the back to comfort him: "Hao, there will be a way, don't worry, you still have me and Lele."

With Li Wanqing's reassurance, Ouyang Yuanhao's heart hurt by his relatives slowly calmed down, and he let go of Li Wanqing: "Qing'er, thank you."

"What are you talking about, we are husband and wife, we should work together to tide over the difficulties together." Li Wanqing said with a smile.

Hearing Li Wanqing's words, Ouyang Yuanhao felt relieved: "Yes, we are husband and wife, and you will always be my wife."

"Hao, let's believe that as long as our husband and wife are united, there is no difficulty we cannot overcome." Li Wanqing encouraged Ouyang Yuanhao.

"Well, I believe you, no matter what happens, I will think of you two first." Ouyang Yuanhao hugged Li Wanqing tightly, making his promise as a man, a husband, and a father.

What the emperor did made Li Wanqing very angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. The emperor of the Jokhang Kingdom was the biggest, unlike in his previous life, ordinary people could sue officials and vent their dissatisfaction on Weibo, but this is a feudal society where imperial power is supreme. The era in which the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.

The people in Lianyun County are still waiting for their help. If Ouyang Yuanhao was just an ordinary person, she might urge Ouyang Yuanhao to move out of here, but he is a prince, and Guizhou is his fiefdom. Obligated to solve problems for the people in Guizhou Prefecture.

She is his wife, and she will be with him for the rest of his life. No matter whether he is poor or rich, in good times or in trouble, as a wife, she must support him and support him.

"How much money is needed to save the people of Lianyun County this time, and how much money do we have?" Now that she decided to tide over the difficulties with Ouyang Yuanhao, she would accompany him to find a solution.

She always believes that there are always more solutions than problems.

"I made a preliminary estimate. The fertile fields were flooded. This year, people in Lianyun County have no crops. Many houses have collapsed. Those who lost their houses have no money to rebuild, and they have to build shelters for those homeless people. Sheds also need silver, so the sum of all kinds of things can't be less than 100 million taels of silver." When it comes to the money needed for disaster relief, Ouyang Yuanhao's face is very dignified.

Li Wanqing gasped when she heard that, what kind of concept is 100 million taels of silver? If you calculate the price of silver in future generations, it would be [-] million.

"I have also saved some silver taels in the past five years of business, and I only have 30 taels out of it, and there is still a gap of 70 taels."

"Hao, don't worry, there will be a solution." Li Wanqing clenched Ouyang Yuanhao's big hand to give him the strength to hold on.

"Qing'er, I want to lobby rich businessmen from all over the world to donate money for disaster relief." Ouyang Yuanhao said the solution he thought of.

"This method is good, but those wealthy businessmen may not be willing to donate money." Li Wanqing said worriedly, and Ouyang Yuanhao, as a prince, must have never begged anyone, and she couldn't bear to see him being wronged.

"But I couldn't save the people in Lianyun County, but starved my wife and children." Ouyang Yuanhao said solemnly.

"How come, I still have 900 taels of private money. If we only eat three dishes and one soup for a meal, and wear fine cotton clothes, we can last for many years." Li Wanqing smiled and said her plan.

"Qing'er, I don't want to wrong you." Hearing Li Wanqing's plan, Ouyang Yuanhao said distressedly.

"Hao, I'm not wronged. Really, compared to those poor couples who eat chaff and swallow vegetables, I have lived a very good life, and it's not like I haven't lived such a life. Besides, there are many valuables in our house , let’s clean it up and hold an auction sometime, I think it should be able to sell a lot of money.”

"auctions?"

"Well, just take a valuable item from our mansion, such as jade pendants, calligraphy and paintings, find a place, and call a group of wealthy merchants, and then we will set a reserve price for those who want to buy it, and the highest price will win. .” Li Wanqing briefly explained what an auction is.

Ouyang Yuanhao stroked his chin and seriously thought about Li Wanqing's suggestion. An auction would be a good way. He would not need to persuade him in a low-key manner. Those wealthy businessmen bought what they liked and did good deeds. good way.

"I think it's a success. The ones sold here are not enough money, and the antique calligraphy and paintings over there in the capital will be sold in the same way." After thinking about it, Ouyang Yuanhao nodded.

"Actually, I have a better way, just because I'm afraid you won't agree."

"What way? How do you know I will disagree if you don't tell me?"

"If you really want to do that, are you willing?" Li Wanqing asked with raised eyebrows.

"You haven't said anything yet, how should I make a decision?" Looking at Li Wanqing's questioning face, Ouyang Yuanhao asked with a smile.

"Although you are a prince, you are also a businessman. You are talking about business."

"Without the people, how can I do business."

"You really think so?" Li Wanqing leaned in front of him and asked with bright almond eyes.

"Really, don't shut yourself up, hurry up and tell me what a good way is?" Ouyang Yuanhao urged.

"No regrets?" Li Wanqing still refused to say what she said was a good solution, and was still full of doubts about Ouyang Yuanhao.

"We are saving tens of thousands of lives. It is a worthless thing. What should I regret?"

Glancing at the sleeping daughter in the cradle, the smile on Li Wanqing's face became even sweeter, girl, look how kind your father is to you, since he was born, he knew he would accumulate virtue for you.

"I told you in advance that this is likely to be a loss-making business, but as long as we get through this difficulty, we will have a lot of money in the future." Li Wanqing thinks that Ouyang Yuanhao still needs to be vaccinated.

"Well, go ahead, I'm listening."
